This study aimed to investigate the effect of the Penta Gram strategy in developing grammatical skills among eighth-grade female students in Palestine. The researcher used the quasi-experimental approach with two groups (experimental and control), applying a pre- and post-test of grammatical skills. The sample consisted of 74 students from Rafah Preparatory Girls School (C), randomly divided into two groups. A test of 40 items was designed to measure main grammatical skills (sentence construction, classification and analysis, parsing, and grammatical critique). The results showed statistically significant differences in favor of the experimental group in the post-test, indicating the effectiveness of the Penta Gram strategy in improving students’ performance and developing their grammatical skills with a high effect size. The study recommended training Arabic language teachers to apply this strategy in classrooms and integrating it into curricula and teachers’ guides. It also suggested conducting further studies to compare Penta Gram with other strategies and to apply it to different levels and linguistic skills.
